To use EPSON scanners in a network environment, you need to assign IP addresses to the scanner server PC and client PCs.

If EPSON scanners are installed in an internal LAN (Local Area Network), that is, isolated from the Internet, the following IP addresses can be assigned to the scanner server PC.

Note:
If you use IP addresses from these ranges, you will not be able to connect this LAN to the Internet in the future, otherwise there will be IP address conflicts.

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

If you plan to use a scanner server PC in a network connected to the Internet, you should acquire a formal IP address for the scanner server PC from the Internet organization of your country.
